  Greenwich Mean Time - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is now often used to refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when this is viewed as a time zone, although strictly UTC is an atomic time scale which only approximates GMT in the old sense.
Noon Greenwich Mean Time is not necessarily the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich) because of Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit and its axial tilt.
On 1 January 1972, GMT was replaced as the international time reference by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), maintained by an ensemble of atomic clocks around the world.

In Western Europe, in contrast with the U.S., there is generally a better realization of the tremendous changes in world economics that have been brought about by the nearly twentyfold increase in oil prices since 1972.

GMT or UT is used by Taeger not as a time zone but as a common basic standard for astronomical calculations related to Greenwich.

We recognize that certain standards are in common usage in different parts of the world (such as GMT or WET, and MET or CET) and consider that an educated astrologer is capable of integrating standards that are flexible enough to include alternate zone names, providing that those alternates are not excessive.
